I was exactly where you are almost 2 years ago. It's so painful. Sorry for your loss. Take your time and try to keep that spark for the hobby alive
Thank you power came back late last night, and I was running on another kind souls gas generator but it was out and off for a solid amount of time before I got that.
Oh goodness.. That's so tough... So sorry this happened.
OMG!!! So sorry to hear. Please do not throw in the towel. Just have a future plan for power outage. MAn, I can't imagine. I am super bummed for you.
Peter thank you , I appreciate everything that comes along with this hobby which includes selfless reefers willing to help. I will definitely reach out if I decide to stay in. I have a lot of gratitude as I have a few people that have reached out and said the same.Let me know when things stabilize. I’m constantly cutting back my corals and will send you free torches, hammers, and Acros.
Yeah- I’m kicking myself now because I thought about insurance in a generator beginning of winter. I forgot due to hectic work life, thought I skirted past winter because it looked like spring up here. Then this bizzare storm hit. I’m really regretting things right now. A generator would have been a meager investment to save all the animals.
Where are you at? If you are near Rochester I can give you some coral frags, I’ve been there! Also, I have a generator now, it’s saved me quite a few times. I use it to run the pumps, heaters and skimmer on my tank, plus it can also run a fridge and my furnace. The wind I get of Lake Ontario is insane so it was a great investment, it’s just your typical portable one.
Thank you. Yeah very painful to experience. My poor son was crying as I pulled all my fish out of the tank. I appreciate your kind words! Haha and you’re right I most likely will be pulled back in. Well, I feel like I owe it to the three fish that somehow survived to keep at-least the tank going.
